The event will be held on Sunday March 11, 2018 at 3:30 PM. The panel’s official hashtag is #sexstoryfilm.

In addition to discussing artistic and technical choices related to using explicit sex in filmmaking, Rowntree will also discuss various social and cultural issues impacting adult content production today. These include safety standards, workplace ethics, representation, and common misperceptions of porn.

“I appreciate the opportunity to speak about the differences between mainstream and adult films – and the unique challenges that come with shooting porn,” Rowntree shared.

“Really engaging why explicit sex is important to our narrative as human beings and talking about some of the misconceptions people outside the adult industry have about shooting adult content — and how work like mine is challenging some of those off-mark ideas — is important. I’m excited to take part,” she added.

SXSW Film 2018 runs from March 9 through 18. For more details about SXSW Film 2018, please go here: http://www.sxsw.com/film
